Is keeping your vehicle stock one of the major keys to long-term reliability? Are majority of vehicles at their pinnacle with factory specifications?

Some systems can be upgraded on most cars with literally no downsides.
Example - upgrading the cooling system with a larger radiator made from better materials.

Restoring a car takes a large investment of time and money. You should pick something you love so you're comfortable putting so much into it.

>hop it up to be a lot faster
Read some build threads so you can see what's involved with this kind of project before you start shopping.

being a car restorer as a project will ruin your "doctors hands" it would be far easier to pay somebody else to do the hard work for you. also car choice comes down to it as well. some cars were absolutely terrible the biggest example is the MGB midget. many werent very rust proofed at the factory well so got eaten by rust thats if the lucas electricals werent giving up the ghost. pick a car you like and read about their common faults before you consider purchase older jaguars are simmilar too except for the wire wheels. if you get them the wrong way around they used to have a habit of unscrewing themselves while the car is moving you can guess the rest

Why are these still a thing? I know they are used to keep university students occupied. But this same design has been used for two decades now.
Picture is from this year's FIA Alternative Energies Cup. For some reason they got to race at Suzuka, all expenses paid.

That exhaust note is fucking horrific. I know the V6 is proven and all but fuck. It better pull off a win on an international scale. When was the last time Multimatic won at something that wasn't a national series?

What do you think of drifting?
It has been suggested that drifters (from the early 90s to now) are just what hot rodders of the 60s and 70s have evolved into.
What do you think of the popularity of professional drifting (Formula D of the USA, D1 GP of Japan and Drift Allstars of Europe)?

As a judgable sport? It's retarded and attracts the worst crowds. It's not a motorsport it's just hooning. The fact that two cars "race" at the same time completely baffles me. it's basically moster jam.
If they went one at a time and were judged only on how fully sick the drifts LOOKED rather than any "measurable" criteria I would have less of a problem with it.
For fun? Yeah, it's great, people have been doing it since the car was invented. If you want to rip a skid I say go for it.

So how am I supposed to brake in manuals? Brake and clutch in as I'm about to stop? Downshift + brake? Neutral and brake? Why is there no consensus on such a simple thing?
